SBYSO’s fifth annual summer camp will take place June 15-19 at Saint Mary’s College. With the theme “Sounds of a New Nation,” this summer’s camp will feature music from HBO’s John Adams series, written by Rob Lane, and performed with episode(s) from the show. The camp will also include daily sectionals and rehearsals, guest Artist workshops and speakers, lunch each day in the Saint Mary’s College cafeteria, and social opportunities each day, and more!

Sign up here: https://sbyso.org/sbyso-summer/sbyso-summer-camp-june-2026/

Led by SBYSO Music Director Dr. Robert Boardman and conductor Zac Couldret, participants will take part in dynamic full-orchestra rehearsals, sectionals, and special masterclasses with professional musicians and SBYSO alumni.

Our summer camp tuition usually is $400+, but due to the generosity of our season sponsors, we are offering the camp experience this summer for a deeply discounted rate of $250 if you register by May 15.

Beyond rehearsals, campers will enjoy guest lectures, composer workshops, and recreational activities, including games, movies, and outdoor fun—all while building lifelong friendships with like-minded musicians.
